THE REAL PROTEGE

Chapter 162: ALCHEMY LESSON


Four Eyes took a moment to silently admire Ling Li, his thoughts racing with the memories of their journey together. Every shared laugh, every tender moment, and every challenge they had overcome together played like a film in his mind. The love he felt for Ling Li was immeasurable, and seeing her in such a peaceful state reminded him of all the reasons he was doing this.

As Four Eyes moved quietly across the room, he couldn't help but feel a pang of nervousness mixed with excitement. The upcoming proposal was a significant step, a culmination of all their shared dreams and aspirations. He hoped with all his heart that Ling Li would be as delighted and moved by the proposal as he envisioned.

Kneeling beside the bed, Four Eyes gently brushed a stray lock of hair from Ling Li's forehead, his touch light and reverent. He leaned in and whispered, "I love you," even though he knew she couldn't hear him. The words carried the weight of his emotions, a silent promise of all the beautiful moments they had yet to share.

As Four Eyes stood up and prepared to get ready for bed, he felt a deep sense of contentment and anticipation. The proposal plan was in motion, and with the unwavering support of their friends, he knew it would be perfect. He settled into bed beside Ling Li, careful not to disturb her, and let the warmth of her presence soothe him to sleep.

In the quiet of the night, with Ling Li by his side, Four Eyes felt an overwhelming sense of gratitude and love. He knew that no matter what challenges lay ahead, they were united by the bond they shared. As he closed his eyes and drifted into a peaceful slumber, his heart was light, filled with the promise of a bright and beautiful future.

As the night grew deeper, the household fell into a peaceful slumber, each person carrying a happy heart and the promise of a bright proposal next week. The anticipation of the surprise proposal brought them closer together, their shared mission binding them in a web of love and friendship.

The stars outside twinkled brightly as if in agreement with their plan. The night held its breath, waiting for the day that would change their lives forever.

In the middle of the night, Four Eyes turned sleepily to his side. However, he was surprised to realize that Ling Li was no longer beside him. He immediately washed up and anxiously went looking for his wife. 'Where could she be?' He deeply wondered.

Butler Peng later informed Four Eyes that Ling Li was in the Alchemy Room, which was located in one of the annex buildings of the highly guarded mansion.

"Master, please take this jacket and let me take you there," Butler Peng courteously said as he led the way. Four Eyes silently followed Butler Peng as he put on the light jacket.

Mushu and Pharsa were outside guarding the door of the Alchemy Room; obviously, Ling Li was inside.

"Master, good morning. You may go in," Mushu politely said as he pushed the door open for Four Eyes. "Madam is in the second door on your right."

Four Eyes silently nodded in acknowledgment to Mushu and walked in. He slowly opened the door where Ling Li was and found her processing some bones that looked familiar to Four Eyes. Surrounding her were different furnaces, kilns, and cauldrons, all lit with precise and controlled fires.

Most alchemists would need to monitor the fire consistently to ensure the stability of the heat. However, with Ling Li's level of cultivation, it was very easy for her to control these fires with her internal energy. It is also said that the higher the cultivation of the alchemist, the more potent the pills and elixirs they produce. No wonder Ling Li's pills were too powerful.

When Ling Li noticed Four Eyes' presence, she looked up with a mixture of surprise and warmth in her eyes. "Why are you up so early?" she asked, her voice carrying a hint of concern.

"I didn't find you when I woke up, so I came to look for you. What are you doing so early?" Four Eyes walked over to Ling Li and placed a reassuring hand on her shoulder, his voice tinged with worry.

Ling Li smiled softly, her eyes reflecting the bond they shared. "Come and sit beside me. I'm making some elixirs and enhancement pills. Let me teach you," she lovingly said to Four Eyes, her tone inviting and warm.

As Four Eyes settled beside Ling Li, she began to explain the basics of alchemy. "Alchemy is a precise and delicate art," Ling Li started, her fingers deftly handling the ingredients. "The first step is to gather high-quality raw materials. Each ingredient has unique properties that contribute to the final product."

Ling Li picked up a bone, showing it to Four Eyes. "This is the bone of a spirit beast, rich in spiritual energy. It will serve as the foundation of our elixir. Next, we grind it into a fine powder using a mortar and pestle."

Four Eyes watched intently as Ling Li demonstrated, her movements fluid and practiced. He admired her expertise and the ease with which she handled each step. "Once the ingredients are prepared, we combine them in a cauldron and control the fire with our internal energy. The heat must be precise to ensure the stability of the mixture."

Ling Li's voice was calm and steady, and her eyes focused on the task at hand. Four Eyes couldn't help but be mesmerized by her skill and dedication. As she continued to explain the process, he felt a newfound respect for the art of alchemy and the effort it required.

Ling Li looked at Four Eyes and smiled, her eyes filled with warmth. "Alchemy is not just about creating powerful elixirs and pills; it's also about understanding the balance and harmony of the ingredients. Each component plays a vital role, and the success of the process depends on the alchemist's ability to harmonize them."

Ling Li took a deep breath and continued, "The grinding process releases the essential properties of the ingredients. The finer the powder, the more surface area is available for the extraction of these properties. It's crucial to ensure that the ingredients are ground to the right consistency."
